Implication

Analysis reveals that malnutrition significantly impairs psychomotor development in infants, suggesting urgent need for intervention.

Key Points

  • Malnutrition profoundly affects psychomotor development in infants aged 0-23 months, especially those with severe forms.
  • Only 2.7% of children with severe acute malnutrition walked independently by 12 months, compared to 39.2% of adequately nourished peers.
  • The study assessed the developmental abilities of malnourished children through observational methods during a survey in July 2024.
  • Findings highlight the critical need for early intervention and nutritional care to enhance developmental outcomes in malnourished infants.
